At 2pm today, bloggers Alex Hilton (formerly of Recess Monkey and Labour Home) and John Gray (John's Labour Blog) will find out if they face imminent bankruptcy. The High Court will rule in the case brought against them by Johanna Kaschke. Jack of Kent sets out the case history HERE, so I won't repeat it all, but this is a case which is important for all bloggers. If Alex and John lose, and the case proceeds to trial in the autumn, it should give us all real cause for concern. What Alex and John and Dave Osler have faced could happen to any of us. There but for the grace of God, etc...
It is almost inconceivable that the case won't be thrown out, but we all know that the justice system is a very odd beast.
UPDATE 2.15pm: The court has ruled that the case should be struck out and no appeal should be allowed. Great stuff. I am delighted for Alex as I know what pressure this has put on him. And well done to Jack of Kent and Robert Dougans for providing the legal support pro bono.

Old Holborn summed this up brilliantly, "This is what happens when German medical health insurance runs out. A full on, 100% unmedicated kraut moonbat in full flight over the cuckoo’s nest."

Didn't she end up in the conservative party?
